- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After reviewing the company's forecasts and projections, and having made appropriate enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In October 2024, Atlas FM Group transitioned to an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) model, marking a pivotal milestone in our journey and placing the future of the business in the hands of the people who make it what it is.”
- “The transition to employee ownership has reinforced our long term outlook and strengthened our sense of shared accountability, purpose and pride.”
- “From 29 October 2024, the Atlas FM Group Employee Ownership Trust purchased 100% of Atlas FM Group Limited, to become the ultimate controlling party. The ultimate controlling party subsequently became Zedra Trust Company (Guernsey) Limited, which is the trustee of Atlas FM Group Employee Ownership Trust.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
